Warm welcome to our new Readers!

I realise that there are some 50% of new readers today on the blog. A very warm welcome to all of you. I am just wondering how you found out about this blog? Was there a new writeup on the print media or announcement over the radio or something? It's not from referrals from the internet and the jump cannot be just from word of mouth.

So will the new readers who have just tuned in let me know please?

ieat said...

Oooopps, I just realised that it was actually my mistake when I shifted the counter to the side panel I left 2 counters on the blog which is why my stats were double counting!

Anyway it was very interesting to hear how you all got onto the blog! Thanks for all your comments!

Sunday Times - one of the earlier features on foodblogs. The photos kept me coming back.

jeanniejean said...

I cganced upon your blog a year ago while searching online for food reccomendations. Then....I forwarded your link for some of my colleagues as we are looking for some great food around our area...maybe it becomes a widely spread forwarded email?

chris†ine said...

Well, in all honesty, I googled "ondeh ondeh" hoping for a recipe, but guess I found something better!!! I'm a student studying in australia, now I go to your blog to get my daily fix. Ironically, it kills to look at your blog with all the horribly good photos! I'm definitely bookmarking this for when I go back to Singapore!!

Janalin said...

Your blog is is on my 'favourites' list of food bloggers. I got the link from the time when the Sunday ST Life ran an article on you. I was intrigued by a foodie doctor, a discerning one at that and such a regular contributor (which is rare)! And since my hubby and I live in Bedok South, and are bona fide foodies, (which makes that a lethal combination), we were thrilled to see that someone else extolls the wonders of living and eating in the East. We have put on a few pounds and work ties us down so our food jaunts have lessened considerably. That leaves us with YOUR BLOG, we eat virtually through you. Hehehe.....Thanks for all the salivating moments! Keep it up!

My Online Notebook said...

from a hardwarezone makan forum link. i like your review and your eating philosophy, not wasting calories on yucky food. sounds perfectly sensible from economic theory.

Saw this blog from the papers. love this food blog cause it recommends a mixture of hawker and higher-'crass' food. and, the verse of the day at the end of the page is really really encouraging.
keep it up!!!

Hi Hi! I googled food bloggers and found you like a year back... I only started reading your site seriously the past few weeks because aku lacking places to eat! Love the way you shoot the pictures and the straightforward, no-nonsense reviews of each tasting. i just tried one of your recommendations - Seng Kee carrot cake at Bukit Timah. wau lau eh! Damn shiok! You have no idea how hard it is to keep to my diet after reading all your reviews. Hahah.. It also helps cut down my time to search for good food in sunny Singapore! Thanks a million for such a fantastic blog!!

I think if one is fascinated by Singaporean cuisine coupled with a google technology, he/she will eventually end up at your blog.

Japanese, living in Japan, love Singaporean Food culture since 7. Having a bowl of rice looking at your mouth watering photos.

Job well done. See you in Singapore!

HiHi,

got to know of the blog, cos of my foodie friend. He organises our makan sessions once a quarter, and we FINALLY asked him to SPILL where he gets all the GREAT lobang on food.... It was from your blog of course! :)

Excellent job! Keep up the work. PS: The shots are also very good, that I have once introduced friends to it, and printed out the ice-kachang shot to make a time-filler jizsaw for my niece! Superb!
